Doctors119 for 6

Jeremy Budd (1-13) opened the bowling for Doctors
with a good spell of off spin and claimed the wicket of Mike Masters, caught
on the very long midwicket boundary by Ben House. Peter Reed and Robert Seymour maintained the
pressure and Reed (1-18) eventually had Tom Keeling (12) caught at slip by
John Ogle.James Mumford (29) struck 4
boundaries and accumulated singles in a well-constructed 29 which ended when
he was bowled by House.This triggered
a mini-collapse as Powell dived at midwicket to catch J.Denton off House
(2-7) and Hugh Ogle ran out Tom Clark with a fine pick up and direct hit from
square leg.Charles Hunt (30 n.o.) and
Ed Denton (26 n.o.) made light of the crisis with a fluent partnership containing
a variety of drives which ensured a challenging total.

J.Denton
(1-20) made an early breakthrough when he persuaded Keith Powell to chase a
wide ball which looped up to the keeper and Tom Clark (1-12) cemented the
advantage by bowling Tom Adcock.As
ever John Ogle was pleasing on the eye and played a perfectly paced anchor
innings.This allowed Sam Powell
licence to hit out until he was, perhaps predictably, caught at long on by Ed
Denton off Masters (1-24).When Ogle
(30 n.o.) retired House took responsibility for the innings management with a
controlled knock which resisted a fiery spell from Ed Denton and accurate off
spin from Hunt.When House (30 n.o.)
retired Doctors still had a bit to do and two wickets for Hunt (2-16) induced
a few palpitations.Steve Bull
relieved some of the pressure with a couple of good shots but was then bowled
by Frank Clark (1-2). Tom Langston stayed calm to steer his team home with 5
balls to spare.
